Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown (Official Audio) 

Considering the heros of the story go poking around Barlow’s house, the whole chorus works lol

Not exactly me as I knew it from way before.

Just watched the trailer, heard the ending soundtrack, and then just had to find out more about the song. Love it.

Hear you the older i get the better they sound if thats possible, Sundown and Carefree Highway are absolutely timeless. Allmost 56 WHERE DOES THE TIME GO 😮. Peace..........

Living though it at this moment

Do you know what "a sailor's dream" is? There is a song with that title. It's nasty you will know when you find it.

❤​@@tommcdonough6086

100 percent. Im 39 and was married 18 years. Got married at 20.

ABSOLUTELY right! Lost generations😪

Some lucky ones will find these timeless songs. Sundown is one of my favorite songs of all time. 56 WHERE DOES THE TIME GO 😮. They don't make em like this anymore. This will NEVER get old for me. Peace......

I beg to differ sir. My son is 15 and he loves Gordon. I find kids today have very mixed tastes as they can access old songs easily on youtube ,spotify etc. All the best.

We had it good.😊

100% right🤗

Well said, sir.

Thanks for sharing this special memory. My Uncle Mike put up an above ground pool. This song has always reminded me of him and summertime!

What a beautiful memory. Music does that to us...

Great history with you there

Listening to the start of the chorus, I'd like to think your dad was playing this to tell everyone they'd better watch out if they try come around the back of the house and start anything, because you were swimming back there.

My condolence

The voice of several generations ... RIP GL ❤

News of his passing brings me here, may he RIP

Me two.😢

Same here. Small NE Ohio town on Lake Erie and listened to Gordon Lightfoot a lot!!

Warner Brothers messed up not releasing film to cinema. Buzz is crazy .😊

This is now the Salem's Lot theme song 😂

​@popey129 ikr. Even if it was for a limited release in theaters, I'd go see it. Not to sign up for HBO MAX just to watch it! You hit the nail on the head btw. WB dropped the ball big time!

Same. Been hooked on this song for the last 3 days

It's amazing what can make an old classic popular all over again. 🦇

In fact, Gordon Lightfoot refused to accept his Grammy award unless Bob Dylan himself presented it. Finally, it happened.

IKR?!? Big fan of Gordon, such sublime music and lyrics.

Yup.The new lot movie looks cool.

Well,,I grew up with his music, but yeah I watched the trailer😅😅😅

yeah, awesome!

Gonna go watch wreck of the edmund fitzgerald next.

🙋🏼‍♀️

Great songwriter and singer!

🇬🇧 🤝 🇨🇦

Who cares if he's Canadian? Gordon's songs traveled around the world. You never hear an American calling Elvis our American Legend.

Still in our heart till date

Hi doreen

I'm 51... I heard this song back when I was 5 also. 1978. Knoxville, TN. My dad had a green 4 door Cadillac. It was a 1972. We rode around in it and listened to this song. Great memories and times were right.

​@Mark-um5hc - Was just reading that Gordon Lightfoot was dating Cathy Smith who was the one who injected John Belushi with the fatal overdose that killed him - the song Sundown was about Cathy Smith - maybe you heard the story before - cheers

Never knew that

Dave Chappelle called her "a fuqqing gangster", meant in the best possible way. "Let them see what they've done to my baby".

Amen to that.

I'm that age where all the great musicians and songwriters that have given me so much pleasure are dying one by one. I'm so grateful though to have lived through an age of truly great music with real longevity. There are literally hundreds of tracks that evoke a place, significant time or memory. Heaven is full of these treasures.

@Toebeans1 Isn't that the truth. I think that we(I'm 60) grew up with the absolute best music ever! What a time and what luck to have lived in this time and place. When I feel down I just listen to my music and forget all about everything else.

😢

Absolutely. Great comment. We're missing him, already. ❤

Except he was Canadian

@@rbierl That’s correct. Canada is part of North America.

​@@rbierl which is located in North America I think

​​@@rbierlwith all due respect. Geography... it's a thing.

I was 15 but a couple years later me and Glenn Michalak saw Lightfoot in the Houston Music Hall.

Cool. Reminds me of working at my uncles gas station 1975 I was 15 years old and always had the radio playing there this song was played a lot. Memories are wonderful

I was 9.

i am i love him too bad hes gone😪

Absolutely. 😎👍

I am :)

Yes I'm listening, all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 Great artist.❤

RIGHT HERE!!!!!!

Indeed... Love and Peace. Best Wishes.

..👏 .. 🙏 ... 🍻.

Agree with you his music does the same for me. Listening to him now. Rest in peace Gordon. Will always live with your music.

Yours is an artful and heartfelt epitaph to an artist I have listened to across many decades and miles. May your travels be smooth and your life be long.

Well said. Love, light & peace for Gordon, you, and to all fellow fans. ☮️💟

We've got lots of time mate. 🇬🇧 🤝 🇨🇦

Mine too.

Mine too. ❤

Well said

Excuse me,your father was a remarkable man.

Me, too-50+ years! 😂 Requiescat in pace Gordon Lightfoot...

No music crosses all ages and genres.

I listen to whatever speaks to me, whenever it speaks to me.

Hey hey I am SouthAfrican too and gre up with man's music. Great music. It is in the heart.

Great Music, And Musicians Cross All Barriers.

No.

I miss those easy days

51 here. Same, my friend. My mom and dad played Gordon Lightfoot, America, etc. constantly. It brings tears to my eyes to remember it all. And I thought life was tough then...

Turned weird? Like equal rights for women & minorities?

@@mistamowgli513 . Go away bro. Dont come and ruin the vibe.

@Riaan Nel 1.dont tell me what to do. 2.an oppressive vibe? Go fuck yourself. 3. Your mother

70yr old whiteman same wave length bro good on yuh.

@@christophercarey6522 the world is changing.......race lines are slowly fading ...I just don't wanna be left behind to become one of those dinosaurs still not able to go outside their skin!

​@@haahnbalghan6556 race lines are far from fading unfortunately. The political elite and their ilk won't let that war ever die. It's too profitable for them. As the world changes so does the strategy of these evil sick fucks. But what remains the same are the core in country wars that always stoke the fires of hate and division. Money, race and religion. Surrounded by their hot topics and keywords to enslave the citizens into a backwards and horrible train of thought. And there are far too many malleable minds in the United States who buy their ideological bullshit like it is the hottest toy for Christmas. Bring back the 70s through the 90s. Race was rarely spoken of, all this hate didn't exist then. Our government is on task to take over how the population thinks and acts. Both parties. Hopefully someone puts a stop to it soon, I can't sleep well as it is knowing what my children and grandchildren will have to bear.

@@TheOtherPinkMeat preach on my brotha from anotha motha.....I feel the same way...and I'm saddened. You're right the powers that be make bank off of the hate they keep stirred up..... Ya know I wasn't born then but I long for the way of the 70s....I wish In my heart of hearts I could of stood at the heart of watt staxx and Woodstock and took in the unity...the beautiful musical stylings of Gordon playing everyone passing a doobie in peace. I was however part of the peaceful part of the 90s and those were great times....instead of finding ways we were different we relished in the ways we were the same and life was good.....I believe music influences how a nation lives...and while there are some beautiful promises like rap mixing with country or pop being married to jazz....there will never ever be a time again where instruments were played ...bands vibed out to 30 minute versions of 5 minute songs. Men were men...women were women and not what the new generations are doing....I can imagine one day I'm fourty now when I'm maybe 70 the stylings 9f Gordon Lightfoot will make a comeback and it will be a revolution in the black community to stop being so self centered as we are and become more open to everyone around us and their ways.....one day hopefully.... Just maybe I can see peace again before I pass away from this world. God bless Gordon and his music...

As long as you identify self by color you’ll never get there! Don’t understand people introducing themselves by the color of skin.

Great song

Its not a song. It's a blue print for the future. ✌

This song was written to someone in his band that was messing with his girlfriend!! Check it!!

Love hearing this,brings me back in a heartbeat 🥰

I was going to write the same thing. Timeless masterpiece.

Hello Sheila 👋 how are you ?

❤😂❤

Really good song sundown

Hello Sheila, What a beatles face

@@johnbennett948 ,Beatles face,?

Maybe Gord is playing a show for your Dad and the legions of other diehard fans his music has touched over the last 50 + years

Amazing comment, I can go back to those times right there with you

@@mattneil1449 Hitting my 70s and I find I'm returning to my music from this era more often. Not that I'm trying to relive my glory days, just remembering with a smile.

@@FiveoooSpot that's awesome, today's music is catchy but just very pop and not very deep like it used to be.

This is simply my favorite song of all time, kid throughout the 70's what a time to be young. Loved your comment, can still hear my mother Tommy come in when the street lights come on. 55 now where does the time go 😮😮😮😮. Peace............

Agree 100%

Will be missed,but not his music

Haven't seen the story behind it in the comments yet. Sundown was Cathy.; crazy, lethal woman into hanging out with musicians and doing drugs in the 70's. It was written after they parted ways, and knowing that has allowed me to hear the lyrics in a whole new way. Cathy was Trouble with a capital 'T'.

@@pennyblackpesic6949She was his muse!

We just can't seem to get back the magic Of Canada

so sorry lost mum treasure the memories this disease robs us of people, time, opportunities look for the good.

I' m the Mom who grew up on this music ... now i'm 64 yro!! todays music just don't have this emotion!!!!❣❣

Yes it does big time but remember we are in he end times and close to being done,

Yes, it F-ing does

I'm 55 as well and I remember this song from my childhood. I just discovered it again after watching the trailer for the new Salem's Lot reboot.

@@josebro352 That’s where I heard it.😂

Agreed!!

Not to mention song writing......

Not as underrated as your mother

He is indeed. No other singer/songwriter has touched me as Gordon Lightfoot has. As many do I’m sure, I find the stories of my life in so many of his song. I even look like the guy! The photo on his album “ Endless Wire,” prompted my daughter, about 4 or 5:at the time, to exclaim “Daddy, it’s you!” when we saw the album in a record store. Wish I could play guitar and sing like him!

He didn't record enough songs.

Your well spoken

@@michaelunderhill5222 it's you're ,go to bed

When did she die? Im a 66 baby.

Awwww hugs

Wow.

33$1/3 - this is a long hard cold play masterpiece

I feel ya

Your feelings are spot on.

I'm a 60's and 70's child. The world was burning down around us and we listened to music as the only distraction. Once again, the world is burning, and we are listening to Gordon Lightfoot. The current generation's music is nowhere near the magic we once knew fifty+ years ago. Amazing. RIP my dear friend.

@@davidk4940 Oh, you are so right my friend! We were the generation that awoke peoples consciousness and our music was sung by those who could see into the future. How absolutely lucky we were to have been growing up back then. I wouldn’t have changed anything! Blessings👍🙏🏻

The song has been in my head for like the last month.

Me too Bonnie.

Copy that

Nice song reminds me my youth

I'm about to be feeling no pain

@@michaelhayes7471 😂😂😂😂😂

What does it mean?

Remember the DJ that locked his self in the booth and played Billy Squirer like 4 ever anyone remember what song it was?

My kids graduated high school in 2004, 2005 and I used to play Lightfoot, Dylan, Eagles and the hard stuff too. Of course they liked the new music that was coming out but separately they asked me "this used to be on the radio all the time?" "Yep, all day and all night." "Man, that must've been _great."_ I don't hear them play Eminem at all these days, but I've heard them both play _"Sundown."_

This isn't the 1st time I have encountered one of your comments on an old song, and I like them. They are like some sort of time capsules.

@@leemorgan5275 You were a good influence on your children, provably still are, of course it helps that you had good taste in good music.

.....I am almost 67 years young, been a Gordon Meredith Lightfoot fan since....1973, I think it was......maybe 1972, after I graduated High School......I had a massive crush on him, beginning 1974, ..as I'm sure did many women who had eyes and were breathing.....But it also due to his amazing talents and distinctive voice . One of the best storytellers and Troubadours, EVER. EVER. Even now, in his 80's.....His Life story was not without trials, temptations, and pitfalls ....Yet, he was an Inspiration and a Gift to many many thousands upon thousands of people......God Bless you , Gordon Meredith Lightfoot. 💜 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💫🎸🎶🎼

So far I had heard and been listening to Sundown and Edmund Fitzgerald. Discovered Early Morning Rain. Aaah! I am hooked. Amazing songwriter and musician.

Amen And good luck Friend

hes Canadian

@@mariannsaieed1572 yes he is and so are we!

At least you are not begging for likes, which is why I gave you one.

@@Rob-yr3vw thank you very much. No, I am not a beggar

@@CaroleSéguin-q8e But of course.

this is one of my favorites by him, and this is one of my brother's favorites too!!!

Timeless songs NEVER get old. This is simply one of my favorite songs of all time. 56 now WHERE DOES THE TIME GO 😮. Peace......

So True Ursula, Fantastic song Great Singer..

As good listening now as it was back then 2/27/20

love this sound, I learned this song with tabs/ chords and lyrics verbatim. No other song... just this. I am a faker , but it's a party- trick that got me many results. ...including my wife , . a copycat who always has " punched way beyond my weigh" I will be56 in two weeks time. Memories, are better the more you share them. I am a rubbish musician, but I am a big man on this device. all the best everybody.

Like Brandy your a girl like the drink

Awesome song 7/5/2020

Me too. 2022 concert (May, I believe,) and he's still singing his heart out AND his voice is still there!! God bless him.

Amazing artist, dedicated to music and his fans until his last moments.

Warm like Quint at the beginning of JAWS

Dr.Seuss Big Fish Little Fish...Charlie Moore Mad Fisherman...

Funny you say that cuz my grandpa was a ww2 vet and he thought this music was no talent compared to his big band and jazz music of his youth

Baa. Every generation says the same thing. Your parents hated your music. And I hate my kids music. Everyone thinks they're generation was/is the best. That's just stupid. Everyone knows that the 80's were the best.

I was going to agree... but I had to go yell at some clouds first.

Today's music is so insipid, has been since the middle 90's

@@oldmansportsog2514 Yep. Mom was into big band...big bro a musician himself....big band and Dixie Land Jazz. Nowadays it's the actual 'singing' that to me is xxxx (fill in the blank) I'd much rather hear the music...the instruments...of any kind. Yikes! Instrumentals! Yep

Godbless!

What a beautiful tribute. ❤

Thank you 💖💖

May your Memories of your Mom bring you comfort. ❤

very sorry for your loss , my condolences🙏🏼

Sounds great on headphones!

Exactly! I love the harmonies in this song

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.

Really amazing

Mine too.

Gordon Lightfoot transcends the 70s. He would be great in any era.

Count me in, i grew up on this stuff. It becomes more precious to me as time goes on..

Let's just take a moment to thanks Raymond Reddington 😂

With you sweetheart

😢

Yes Fantastic : One Legend Commending Another....

Agree with that as I saw gordon live in the early seventies and again a few years ago but by then, unfortunately, his voice was fading and he didn't play my favourite Bobby McGee, the best version ever.

They are very close friends and have been for 45+ years.

@@richardbool4232 . .

That's amazing to learn about!!! Just the opposite of the amazingly obtuse 847 downvotes...

I can remember hearing this song in 1974 in the car with my dad driving to a little league baseball game. The memory is so strong, I can't believe it's almost 50 years ago.

Hello Abby 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..

Yep.

Same here!

You got that right, friend.👍

Thanks for the lyrics 👍

Thanks for the lyrics 🎶

👍👍👍

Thanks Gordon

Thanks mate

Very fortunate you saw him live! Have loved this song since i was 8 yrs old ...50 yrs ago

In April my dad played "If You Could Read My Mind" for me from his phone. He sat and held his phone for me to listen to the entire song, and then told me how he and his brother heard Gordon would be in Oregon so they scrounged up the money and bought tickets to see him play that song. My dad just passed on May 18th, and I played that song back for him as he passed. What a treasure my dad left me with... I wish I had known of Gordon's music much earlier so we could've talked about it, but I'm so grateful my dad opened my eyes, ears and heart to the world of Gordon Lightfoot ❤

I can smell a pine forest with a breeze in a full moonlight dusky sky. No exaggeration. He’s a wizard.........a past master of evocative music and lyrics. Trying not to sound corny but.......this song is magic sorry. When Mt. St Helens exploded the lone man who stayed on his property until lava covered him must’ve had this enchantment in his soul going on and couldn’t mobilize.

I just turned 63 on Saturday! Love this tune from a good old Canadian singer/ songwriter.

the music fits so perfectly sometimes that i feel like they write the episodes based on the song

Raymond reddington and lizbert keen

"Knives Out", as well.

Amen to that!

@@rationallogo "Knives Out" brought me here.

ppl don't make music for the same reasons they used to. ppl are just singers and everything is written for them. it's ok* (edited for spelling) for everything to not be so deep all the time but we miss out on songs like this way more now

If they wanted them, they'd have them.

they do just not alive, the greats from 50's, 60's 70' 80's will always be there for them. :)

Exactly. They rely on auto tune😂

I agree

Those were indeed the best days - more simple!

Could not agree with you more. The 70s and 80s were the best! Best music, best movies, best cartoons, etc! Looking at our country today makes me sad and makes me long for the past!!

I miss those flintstone days.

Guess it's why I miss my hometown in OH so much. No cell phones, no internet, rode our bikes everywhere, played in the creeks. When I go back home it's like stepping back in time. Covered bridges and Amish!! Life was definitely simple then.

We dont have an accent...YOU do. In fact when I was teaching in Japan, Canadians and non-Southern Americans were more requested for our un-accented English.

@@projektkobra2247 dude everyone has an accent - we can’t really hear it unless it’s exaggerated like with Newfies. But we definitely have an accent eh 😂

@@EllePole -Yes...if you watch Jeopardy tonight, the current champ is this effete Yorkville snob who has that nasal Canadian accent...Other prime example is that Kerrie Keane actress (Devos in ST:TNG's "The High Ground").

Lightfoot is singing the harmonies as well.

Most ppl separate out of disappointment…. Without realizing it, they’ve “loved as long as they possibly could”, not honoring their promises….. sickness & health, richer or poorer etc…. Like suicide, a permanent solution to a temporary problem. God heals hurting hearts & marriages. Don’t give up !

its called menopause.

I still have no idea. Who or what is sundown?

All CANADIANS are good looking... I mean, the FRENCH ones! 😅😂😊 Don't believe me? Come visit Montreal man ❤ LOL
